Age of Rust: Retribution is coming 2024!

Having survived a battle with the Western warlord, Kayzitt, Seneca and Tavin lead the survivors South out of the thawing northern wilds. They must seek out the Chancellor of the East, who has been directing their campaigns from a distance till now, and determine the direction of the war and thus, their lives. 

Meanwhile, Kayzitt and Oil’ib play cat and mouse in the desolate wilds, their survival unbeknownst to their friends. Oil’ib longs for revenge at any cost, but Kayzitt will not allow himself to be beaten so easily.

Chiara tries to maintain the hospital that Seneca was forced to leave for the service. All while patients pile in and physicians continue to be drafted away. When the situation reaches a harrowing breaking point, she will put her life on the line to save her home.

As the Agents of the Chancellor finally meet their leader. They learn that there may be a way out of the war, a long lost tool or the Golden Age of man, which may give them the advantage needed to dispel the invaders from their land. But the mission will require a high risk journey to the New England territories, where the influence of the Eastern Republic is weak and their enemies closer than they could have dreamed.

Black Money by SJ Richards (Luke Sackville Crime Thrillers book 2)

Genre: Crime Thriller

Publisher: Apple Loft Press

BACK OF THE BOOK:

Ex-DCI Luke Sackville could not have predicted the challenges he would face when he joined Filchers, a business outsourcing company, as their Head of Ethics. 

He and his team are catapulted into helping MI6 thwart the activities of an international terrorist organisation. Initial suspicions centre on money laundering, but when women are abducted and bodies start to turn up it becomes clear there is a lot more at stake.

The risks are high and there is danger at every turn as the tendrils of the organisation reach into the home lives of more than one of Luke’s team.

Black Money is the second in the Luke Sackville crime series. If you like a team you can root for then you’ll love this page-turner. Perfect for fans of JD Kirk, LJ Ross, JM Dalgleish, David J Gatward and Alex Smith.

REVIEW:

Black Money is a great entry into the growing series of the Luke Sackville Crime Thrillers. Taking place very soon after the events of Taken To The Hills, Black Money throws the team of the Filchers ethics division back into another case even as they are still recovering from their first outing.

This story sees them working with MI6, and the local police as they are tasked with looking into potential money laundering with a company Filchers has become involved with. The investigation takes them deeper into other illegal activities involving a terrorist group.

Another well-written book with a gripping storyline mixed with humour and emotional moments.

Menacing texts lead to murder in an English village, in this unmissable, witty mystery by the Dagger Award–nominated author of A Most Unusual Demise.

May Morrigan is in her bookshop one morning when she—and everyone else in the shop—receives an anonymous text. It contains a reference to a Shakespeare quotation—and seems to be aimed at the vicar and his partner, Juan. The next morning, one of them is dead.

Meanwhile, May’s elderly mother, Minty, is staying with her, her old friend Fletcher, and her two dogs. To her dismay, Minty is quite preoccupied with death herself lately. She also keeps reminiscing about her past in ways that make May wonder what secrets she’s hiding. 

As disturbing texts continue to arrive, the Blackheath residents are threatened with further revelations and titillations. Then Fletcher becomes the focus of the tormenting texter . . . and barely escapes an attempt on his life. It’s time for May to send a strong message—and block this killer permanently . . .

Too Cruel for Love by B.D. May: A Virtual Tour Review with Love Books Tours @LoveBooksTours @KellyALacey #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #Gifted #FreeBookReview

Too Cruel for Love by B.D. May

Genre: Steamy | Sexy | Romance 

Pages: 264

BACK OF THE BOOK:

‘Too Cruel for Love’ is the second in the ‘Crimes of Passion’ series. Can be read as a standalone.

You don’t choose love – it just happens. You can’t scrub it off or ignore it. It stays there for life. It can hide behind a rock or be quiet for a while, but it is still there and will be along soon enough to stretch its legs.

Set in Victorian London, hardened detective, dashing, granite-jawed Reuben Keene has a penchant for ladies of a particular kind, but this lifestyle has a price to pay.

He is a savage and dominant lover and enjoys pleasing ladies who desire a submissive role in the bedroom. He cannot help but take complete control.

Independently wealthy, Reuben’s servants are specifically chosen to meet his wanton demands. One such servant, Victoria, is a member of the aristocracy and secretly works for him to fulfil her fantasy of total subservience. Yet love is not far from her mind. She must learn to be less clingy but can’t help herself. Master claims he is ‘too cruel for love?’ But is he?

Reuben’s complex affairs and indiscriminate promiscuity inevitably create problems and pleasure.
A man with Reuben’s reputation and rumours of his savage sexual encounters means he is sought after by certain women desirous to sample the experience.

While tracking down a rapist, Reuben, too, is pursued by a powerful woman in society and is put in an invidious position; she demands sex, or she will expose his ‘unusual’ lifestyle. There is a snag. It is Lady Farrah, Victoria’s mother, and it would be a horrible betrayal to his aristocratic servant were he to succumb. It is a dichotomy. Will he, or won’t he? Has he any choice? Can he find a way out?
Meanwhile, the rapist is targeting those closest to the detective, they are frightened, and Reuben must intercept the fiend before it is too late. If he fails, it could have deadly consequences.

In ‘Too Cruel for Love’, we see the multifaceted and flawed Reuben Keene: sexual animal, insatiable, sadistic, sexually reckless, protector, and a man who can show the most touching compassion to those in desperate need.

Is he a monster or merely misunderstood?

Contains: sexual violence, explicit sex scenes, violence, submissiveness, bondage, adult language, and adult theme

REVIEW:

Too Cruel For Love is the second book in The Crimes Of Passion series. Having not read the first one I was unsure what to expect but the book made for an excellent read and the story was not reliant on having read the first one to understand it. I had never seen a crime book coxed with explicit sex scenes but had previously thought the two genres may mix well together.

The story follows Reuben Keene, a police detective in Victorian London, as he is put on the case to discover and capture a rapist who attacked one of London’s High Society Ladies. Alongside this story is the arc of his interactions with the women he ‘owns’ as well as encounters with other ladies throughout the book.

Although unsure of some of the language used for describing sexual activities I found the book to be entertaining for both the crime aspect and the erotica mixed within it.
